AGE, geralt is one hundred and fourty years old, having done battle for most of them. despite his advanced age representing his vast battle experience, he rather dislikes being reminded of his age, feeling like an old man. GENDER, well, he's most obviously male last time he checked. ORIENTATION, geralt is surprisingly bi-sexual; he will sleep with whatever he finds beautiful, regardless of whether it's male or female. RACE, geralt is a demi-human and battle lord under the command of the great lord odin. he has killed more men and women than he could ever remember to obtain this status and he'll be willing to torch the earth before ever relinquishing it. ALLIANCE, despite having been originally born in nebulapolis as a mere orphan, he was brought into the fold of odin as a child and is now a fiercely loyal member of the aesir. he'd be more willing to cut off his own tongue before ever declaring the slightest fealty to any other group. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +POSITIVE, 回 FEARLESS ---- maybe it's from growing up in on the harsh streets as a child, but the concept of fear is completely lost on geralt. he has never once encountered an enemy that strikes any other emotion into his heart but excitement and blood lust. while he knows that fear can actually be a good thing at times, he sees no use for it. 回 CUNNING ---- despite what people may believe due to his rather vulgar persona, he houses a very calculating and devious mind, much like that of a hunter. he enjoys countering people's attacks and setting them up, seeing that face of realization as they fall into his trap and know that there is no way for them to survive. 回 LOYAL ---- there is no man or warrior more loyal than geralt; when he declares allegiance to a comrade or friend, that allegiance can almost never be broken by any outside force. being almost suicidal in nature, there is no force or calamity he'd be ready to back down from if it meant the safety and survival of those whom has earned his friendship or respect. 回 HONORABLE ---- most people take his ruthlessness in battle as an excuse to call him a complete monster, but this isn't entirely true. he sees no reason to harm those weaker than him or with no way to defend themselves. he almost always avoids harming females and children unless they insist on risking their lives in battle with him. geralt considers the fact that he spares opponents a privilege of being so powerful; it's because he's so mighty that he has the luxury of letting them live as he could easily kill them if they sought revenge. 回 DETERMINED ---- he knows not of backing down or retreat; to cower in the face of an enemy would bring shame to the aesir and he'd die before letting that happen. geralt seeks to accomplish his goals no matter what the cost to himself, regardless of having to sacrifice both limb and life. 回 JOVIAL ---- just because he is a feared and blood-thirsty deity of war doesn't mean he's fire and brimstone all the time. in fact, outside of battle, he's known to be very upbeat and content with the world around him. he can easily be found in the great dining hall, laughing and grinning merrily as him and his troops regale each other with stories of battle and blood-shed. it's said that he even treats war as a game sometimes, though his joy then is much more twisted if anything. -NEGATIVE, 回 ARROGANT --- it probably comes from killing so many men and effortlessly coming out the victor each and every battle, but he is firm in his belief that is the greatest warrior among odin's legion. while he is sure that there could possibly be a warrior of equal caliber to him, he has not seen him/her and until then he shall gratefully enjoy his position as the king of killers. 回 SADISTIC ---- honorable he may be, but to those he deems valid opponents, he can be a true scion of pain. often choosing attacks and finishing blows that are brutal beyond comprehension, he takes a rather perverse glee in the knowledge that his enemy is suffering immensely because of his hand. this has earned him a feared reputation among his soldiers, which is oftentimes mingled with feelings of awe and respect as well. 回 TERRITORIAL ---- he is not fond of people walking in and using what he deems to be his. somewhat like a wolf, what he declares his is only his; he will promptly destroy anything that dares to intrude upon it or take it for themselves. this applies to both comrades and lovers; while his protectiveness can be seen as charming, it can also come off as scary and unsettling to those who don't know his habits too well. 回 UNFORGIVING ---- those who have earned his ire have a very long way to go before they're back onto his good side. once someone earns his trust, it is not easily reformed. in fact, to most people whom betray him, he almost never comes to fully trust them again, no matter what they do to prove their honesty. 回 IMPATIENT ---- geralt has never claimed to be a waiting man, the kind who can simply sit back and do nothing. he chafes at the idea of sitting on the sidelines; the lord much prefers to leap into action with explosive power and cleave his enemies asunder, without a thought of anything else. this has occasionally earned him the disapproval of other commanders while it has done nothing but earn admiration from his more hot-blooded lord odin. STRENGTHS, 回 SWORDSMANSHIP ---- geralt is incredibly skilled with a blade, having been hailed as one of the best in the aesir. he's skilled enough that he can wield two blades with little difficulty, becoming a whirling dervish of pain and death on the battlefield, cutting his opponents down like weeds. anything with a handle and bladed edge, he can use to bring down an entire forest of trees if need be. 回 SIEGE TACTICS ---- his specialty, geralt has always loved the thrill of crashing down on an enemy encampment, crushing the infantry like ants before storming their fort and setting it ablaze. it's in fact the main responsibility of his particular platoon to charge in first and breach the base before allowing the cavalry to change in and help finish the job. 回 BATTLE TACTICS ---- fighting has become almost like breathing to him; the lord has fought numerous opponents over his long life and military career, so there's very few tactics he hasn't seen or tested himself. unfortunately, he tends to get too wrapped in a fight to actually use some of these brilliant tactics. 回 COOKING ---- shut up. sometimes a warrior needs to learn how to make his own meal out on the harsh battlefield. never mind the fact that he prefers to grow all his ingredients himself, wanting that fresh taste to them. and forget the fact that he constantly has tips and pointers on how the chef could make those turkey legs so much more savory. it's just a small talent of his. 回 LEADERSHIP ---- from the bloodthirsty wolf? indeed; he knows how to inspire loyalty and ferocity in his troops, turning his platoon in an unstoppable force of blood and thunder. they seem to feed off his own excitement and vigor, almost energized by seeing him crash into battle with reckless abandonment. he also knows a thing or two about formation, though he prefers straight-up skirmishes. WEAKNESSES, 回 PATIENCE ---- he has occasionally botched military operations due to his tendency to leap into battle without scoping out the situation. he cannot sit or hold back, always itching to send his platoon out in the heat of battle. if he could actually overcome his compulsive need to stay on the move, he might be an even more valued general. 回 STRATEGIES ---- he openly claims that he much prefers to keep complicated gambits and formations out of the way and rely on pure battle instinct. while he knows that strategy is key to warfare, this still doesn't make him like it. the times where he can simply hack and slash to his heart's content are the battles that make him come home happy. 回 LONG-DISTANCE ---- geralt's entire fighting style requires on getting up close and personal with enemy, whirling and attacking them with his twin broadswords. the most he can do in terms of long-range attack is toss a boulder at his enemies. and no, he is not terribly accurate with his boulder-throwing either. in fact, it's a running joke among his troops that he has horrendous aim when using projectiles, often missing his mark completely. 回 DIPLOMACY ---- if you're going to have a war, what the hell is diplomacy even around for? the blue-haired warrior is under the strict belief that if you start a war, you better damn well finish it. finding peace treaties and negotiations laughable, he's much more interested in simply crushing an enemy nation until they have no more resources or desire to do any battle ever again. thus, he has absolutely no skill in art of negotiation; he has never used powers of persuasion to quell a battle, opting to do so with his fists. 回 MAGICAL SKILLS ---- to put it simply, he's mystically retarded. while he does have powers of supernatural nature, they're more physically based attacks than anything else. he knows very little of magical lore or alchemy for that matter, having his potion mixed by one of his more magically-inclined underlings. it's really pathetic how limited his knowledge of the magic in this world is; he barely even knows what phozons are, let alone what they're actually for. LIKES, 回 RARE SWORDS 回 STRONG WOMEN 回 HIS PLATOON 回 ALE AND MEAD 回 BEEF STEW 回 EARLY MORNING TRAINING 回 HIS PIERCINGS AND TATTOOS 回 THE STENCH OF WAR 回 SIEGES AND RAIDS DISLIKES, 回 COWARDICE 回 WEAKNESS 回 RUSTY ARMOR 回 CARROTS 回 LATE SLEEPERS 回 BIRDS 回 ENEMIES OF ODIN 回 POLITICIANS 回 ELVES SECRETS, 回 geralt was an orphan living in nebulapolis before lord odin took in the young child, a street urchin whom clawed his way through life to survive every day. 回 secretly, he wants to get married and have a lovely wife to come home to each day after war. despite what most people believe from his usually rough nature, he longs for a woman's touch. 回 has actually planned out every single aspect of his marriage from the dress his bridesmaid would wear to the feast for the guests. he has a secret obsession with having the "perfect marriage". INVENTORY, 回 TANNGRISNI; it's name means that of "gap-tooth". one of his fabled broadswords, it's a lovingly crafted weapon. the 120 cm blade is made from both meteorite and tempered steel, having been honed for maximum durability and sharpness. while it weighs a ton in the hands of a simple soldier, he's able to swing and cleave enemies with great ease, finding it light as a feather. 回 TANNGNOST;with a name meaning "tooth-grinder", it's a wickedly made claymore about 140 cm in length, longer than that of tanngrisni; he mostly uses the blade for heavy attacks, it's weight giving it a fantastic momentum. with the right application and distribution of force, it's been said that he could cleave a man from head to toe into two neat pieces. 回 VARIANCE x2 回 SKULD'S BLESSINGS ---- it's the collective name for a series of piercings located on him; three rings in each ear, one stud on both earlobes and two studs located on his left eyebrow. they were given to him by a valkyrie he once claimed to have fallen deep in love. that same valkyrie fell in battle a week after giving him these gifts. SLEIGHTS, 回 FANTASTIC DESECRATION ---- not really one for magical light-shows, his supernatural powers are mostly based on various ways to enhance his combat efficiency. this particular technique technique produces a winter-blue aura of jagged energy around any blade he's holding, preferably his standard weapons. in addition to doubling his cutting power, it causes the swords to "bite" into their victims as if they were jagged saws instead of razor-sharp blades. this allows him to do grievous damage to unarmored opponents. it does not extend the range of his blades however and does a only a small amount of extra damage to armored opponents. likewise, he has a limit to how long he can maintain the aura (three posts). 回 FANTASTIC PENETRATION ---- this sleight still uses the basis of coating his swords in a magical aura, except this covers not the entire blade, but simply the tip. when he thrusts into someone with the tip of his blade, the ensuing contact is more like that of a drill, a sudden increase in the blade's penetrating power. it is in fact quite useful against armored opponents, especially if directed towards vital points. he only gets on attack for each sword and it requires a few moments before he can perform it again (two posts). 回 FANTASTIC DESOLATION ---- an attack usually used as a starting move and his only means of long-range combat, it concentrates large amounts of his energy and molds them into crystalline blue broadswords that float around his being. these blades can be launched at his opponent's at lightning-speed; despite his normally horrendous aim, he seems to be rather accurate, though he relies on catching his opponent off-guard to make hitting his target easier. the drawback is that because the blades are creating purely from his magic, he can only manifest four at most. likewise, he must wait a good while before he can muster up enough magic to perform the sleight again (3 posts). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FACE CLAIM, [b]BLEACH[/b], grimmjow jeagerjaques PLAYER, RAZE • MALE • AND I PLAY 1 CHARACTER GERALT ELESSAR • YOU CAN REACH ME VIA ( PM/MSN/C-BOX )
